Hot temperatures blanketed the state once again today with a handful of locations either tying or breaking their previous record high temperature. Isolated showers have also been moving through much of southern New Mexico. However, a lot of these showers have not been making it to the surface. Similar conditions will be in place heading into Sunday.
A weak cold front will move through eastern New Mexico by Monday afternoon, bringing a more significant drop in high temperatures to that half of the state. It will also increase the chance for rain Monday in eastern New Mexico with spotty afternoon storm chances in central, northern, and western parts of the state. High pressure builds in overhead again by the middle of week, bringing in hotter temperatures a dip in rain chances by Wednesday. The heat will stick around late next week, but rain and thunderstorm chances will increase as more monsoon moisture moves into the state.
